Katy Perry is a world-renowned American pop singer, songwriter, and television judge. She is one of the most successful and best-selling music artists in the modern music industry. Born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California (USA), her real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. Both her parents were religious Christian pastors, so Katy was raised in a strictly religious environment; in this setting, she was permitted to listen to and sing only religious music—specifically, gospel music.
